Ah shit! Get your towels ready 'cause it's about to go down!

Amazing letter, I was laughing out loud with the Roe making that emote and in a swim wear xD. The female attires are looking nice!.

I am going to guess this event will be introduced on 1.18a or 1.18b since we ussualy get a lodestone page update with the lore of the event beforehand.

Its finally over Yoshi (the first big patch), you can rest a bit. Good job Dev Team, can not wait to see all this implemented and to try it out. ^^

As soon as they introduce company-owned ships you know these videos are happening.

And here I was thinking the producers letter would give us more insight as to the patch content coming out in 2 days.
My mistake.

And here I was thinking that's what patch notes are for.

As soon as they introduce company-owned ships you know these videos are happening.

Why wait? FERRY PARTY!

Also Giftforce, it's not 4chan lingo. They're pulling some terms from popular memes but that doesn't mean it's exclusive to 4chan. I haven't been to that site in years and even I get most of the references.

Very humorous letter good job ^^

Couple of things though are the mob distribution and respawn timers adjustments in 1.18 or are they planned for later on? Also "a well known FF Monster known for heating things up" does this mean the long awaited Ifirit battle is actually a swim suit contest??? That could be ......er intereresting lol.

Still can't wait for the patch and liking the direction FFXIV is taking so far for the most part, keep up the good work.

I was hoping for yukatas

I would LOVE yukatas. If it's too late for this year, maybe next year please?

My question is do most of you use up all of your Anima during your playtime?

How many hours do you put in a week?

I've been pretty much at 0-10 for months, I just hate running outside of town its so tiresome for me.

I would happily use chocobos to leave town for dungeons, desired camp, leves, nms, boat ride etc instead of anima though.

I play about 3-4 hours daily on average.

I know the old dev team said they had no intentions of making it possible to not have a weapon equipped, but I hope that this will be possible soon, as a swim suit with a sword or great axe on your back doesn't really say festival time.

For christs sake just wear a fishing rod.
